In the event that you would not bother with the usefulness a channel gives, it is recommended that you expel the channel. Evacuating unneeded ISAPI channels streamlines the information way and might enhance security and steadiness.
You can simply include a channel later in the event that you require it by opening the Web website's Master Properties dialog box, tapping the ISAPI Filters tab, clicking Add, and indicating the file.
ISAPI channels are DLL documents that can be utilized to alter and improve the usefulness gave by IIS. ISAPI channels dependably keep running on an IIS server, separating each demand until the point that they discover one they have to process.

ISAPI filters get installed during the IIS installation process. They are capable of modifying the data stream entering or leaving the server. These filters also help in adding more functionality to the server
The security analyst should disable/remove unnecessary ISAPI filters because:
*Some of them can be very insecure and expose your computer to various threats. This affects the stability of the system.
*They prevent the streamlining of the data path.
*The functionality provided by the filter is not needed anymore. An example of this is when you already have a software module perform the same function of an ISAPI filter.
